oil

Hi All, As the title says, I'm looking to buy an oil pan cover for a 2009 FZ6. I've looked around on ebay, but I haven't had much luck finding anything. Thanks

I know these things aren't supposed to last forever, but I haven't seen much about clutches on these forums. If you have replaced your clutch parts, or even just deglazed them, I'd find it helpful to know how many miles in. I'm getting a little clutch slippage sometimes on my 2004 with 38,000...

Hi All, I bought a used 2008 FZ6 with 300 miles on it but the header pipes seemed to be rusted\eroded looked pretty bad but not horrible see picture below. Anyway it seems the bike was bought new from the dealer in 2013. When I went to check out the bike, it head a dead battery. The owner told...

.... so in the off-season, I undertook a needed valve adjustment. It was detailed and slow going, but everything seemed to go as planned......until it came time to reinstall the valve cover. The new gasket was fighting me to stay flat against the valve cover, so I smeared a little RTV on the...

Morning/Evening, I want to change the oil on my FZ6-S (600) and it is the first time I'm doing this. Simple question really, any suggestions on the best oil to use. The manual says either SAE10W30 or 20W40, which I get. The bit that confuses me is that it states API grade SE, SF, SG but...

Hey guys. I've used seafoam as a fuel additive in the past and it's worked great for me. I know there are a few other uses such as adding it in the oil a few miles (~100) before the next oil change and adding it directly into the fuel pump. I was wondering if anyone else can chime in on...

hey guys Happy Thanksgiving. Went out for a ride today and notice a drip one of the radiator hoses here are some pics. And no I was not the one that dropped the bike the guy I got it from has it sprocketed down to use as a wheelie bike and laid it down a few times. But anyways there is a small...

Got rid of a lot of stuff but I have a few things left R6S forks, calipers & fender mounting hardware (new oil and fork seals) Front fender (Black, like new) 12 o'clock labs speedo healer Barnett clutch plates & springs (low miles) Clutch pressure plate and arm Stock seat Shoot me offers and...

Was out on a very long, very flat, very empty piece of desert road this weekend with a few other riders and we had a little impromptu speed run. Was pretty close to redline in 3rd and then 4th for quite a while, was contemplating shifting up again, but as soon as I hit one more digit...

Hello everyone. I've been lurking for awhile and wanted to get feedback on my plans for my bike. I bought a 2007 a few months ago and have already put 4000 miles on the clock. Here's an old ad with some pictures...

Anyone else notice this? This summer I would like to make a pass at the local 1320 and a solid launch is something I rarely subject the bike too! That said I would hate to grenade it for entertainment! What kits have been used and which have steel backed frictions vs oem aluminum which we've...

Pulling mods to sell my bike, shipping included to US lower 48. R6 Forks with calipers and all necessary spacers. Mounts right up, no leaks. Comes with an extra set of seals, extra set of ebc pads and stock Springs. Racetech 85s with 7.5wt oil. New oil installed in them when I bought them...

I'm going to be changing my fork oil this weekend. Is it worth while to change my fork seals as well since I will have the forks off the bike? They are not currently leaking and I have about 13,000 miles on my bike.

I have to safety wire my my oil sump bolt, oil filer cap, oil filter, and possibly dip stick. Any ideas what the best anchor points would be? I've never done this before.

Picked up a horribly neglected 05FZ6 with 23k on it. After a few hundred miles and everything seemed OK pulled some maintenance on it. Changed all the fluids new plugs and fix a bunch of piddly stuff. And after changing the oil I put about 50 miles on it and gained a lot of free play in the...

I laid my 09 fz 6 over and now there is a dime size hole in the timing chain cover {oil pump cover}. I removed the cover today and found a lot of sand and silt everywhere inside the housing. What is my best course of action?

So at the end of last summer, I ended up getting a flat tire thanks to a metal object on a 4 month old tire. I've been very lazy, but would like to get my bike up and running ASAP for spring. So in my garage I have my bike, with a tire that is completely flat. I am not handy at all, the most...

Hey everyone. After working on getting my front axle unstuck for about a month, I can finally begin working on what I originally wanted to do before I came to an immediate halt when I couldn't get the axle off. So anyways, I wanted to change the fork fluid on my bike. It has 25000 miles...

Recently had an oil change, less than 100miles. 1. Weather around is ranging 25-60F for the past few days. When I received the bike from the mechanic, after an oil change, I checked with our dipstick and get middle of the |X|X|X|X| on vehicle straight up. After 60 miles, of so many cold starts...

Hi. I'm a 2005 fazer user and my bike needs servicing. I've used motul 7100 (which is top of motorcycle oil market) 3 times. Euro / TRY (Turkish Lira) parity is too much nowadays and I can't afford 7100 oil. So I found Valvoline synpower 10w40 (fully synth). I'm waiting for your opinions...
